The national team of Iran stunned Wales on Friday with two goals in added time of their group stage match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar to secure a 2-0 win.
Some minutes before the final whistle, Wales’ goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was flashed with a Red Card after he had left the goalkeeping line and eventually collided with Iran’s striker Mehdi Taremi, who was on a rush to score a possible goal. The Red Card for the goalkeeper forced the Welsh team to play a man down for the rest of the match against the Iranians.
The teams finished the 90-minute match with all zeros on the scoreboard and the head referee of the game added nine minutes.
In the added time, it was Iran’s defensive midfielder Roozbeh Cheshmi, who netted a ball firing it from about 20 meters to give his team a 1-0 lead over the Welsh team.
Just minutes later, Cheshmi’s teammate Ramin Rezaeian scored another goal for Iran, leaving the scoreboard flashing 2-0 after the final whistle.
